The Mathnasium Method™

“Children don’t hate math. They do hate being confused and intimidated by math. With understanding comes passion, and with passion comes growth – a treasure is unlocked.” -- Larry Martinek

For more than a decade, the Mathnasium Method™ has transformed the way kids understand and appreciate math. Larry Martinek, creator of the Mathnasium Method, has spent 40+ years designing, developing, and refining this approach based on his extensive experience teaching math to kids. We build math knowledge upon what they already know - this helps kids learn quickly and boosts their confidence right away.

How It Works

Our proprietary method consists of three key components which are closely monitored and adjusted to address each child’s learning goals:

Assessments: Students start by taking a customized assessment which pinpoints their needs, allowing us to meet them where they are and take them where they need to go. These assessments continue throughout their Mathnasium instruction to ensure progress and skill retention.

Customized Learning Plans: We then design a customized learning plan for teaching the concepts the student needs to master, and use a combination of proprietary materials and instruction techniques to ensure your child masters these concepts.

Specially Trained, Caring Instructors Who Teach: Mathnasium’s specially trained instructors implement the learning plan and work with each student to ensure they master the material. All teaching takes place during the Mathnasium session, and we don’t assign homework.

The Mathnasium program provides the foundation and support to succeed at each stage:

Elementary School: Building math foundation, mastering computation and problem solving with whole and rational numbers, and understanding number sense

The staff at Mathnasium is great! They know the children by name. They are friendly and helpful. My son loves doing math now instead of dreading it. The new owner and manager have made the transition easy. They communicate very well with us. I would highly recommend math learning here.

My kids really enjoy your program. It is great because it helps them see that math is fun and keeps them engaged. We like having them attend the summer program to keep them from losing what they have learned.

Our son has only been attending for about a month and we are pleased.
The only reason for a "nine" and not "ten" is we were hoping for an earlier opening during the school year. Our preference would be a 2:30 or 3:00 opening.
Thank you for asking our opinion.

Both of my children really enjoy the one on one instruction. Their confidence has skyrocketed in the 6 months they have been attending. They are excited about going into the next grade level. Kids looking forward to school are a treat for the parent. Thanks so much!

My 11 year old daughter was struggling with math. Knowing she was going to struggle more going into the next school year, we discussed going to Mathnasium over summer vacation. The results are phenomenal! My daughter looks forward to learning math. She asks to go to Mathnasium! I never thought I would hear those words. What makes the difference for her is the attention and direction provided by the instructors. She tells all her friends and their parents about the program and so do we. Thank you so very much for providing this service!

Half way through the school year my daughter began having difficulty understanding how to do certain equations and math problems. Now everyone approaches and learnes at different speeds so this wasn't something new. What was different was the fact that she couldn't grasp the method to solve the equations and math problems. Teaching is very difficult in an environment with so many different skill levels and they do a great job dealing with it. After discussing this with another parent with a similar situation she suggested Mathnazium. The transition worked for us because they were able to work with my daughter and teach her the steps to get to the answer in a way she understood at the level she was at. It made a huge difference and she finished the year very well.

My Granddaughter shows so much confidence in her math skills now. She really was feeling she would never get it, frustrated even at 11 years old. She asks to go to Mathnasium. She loves learning and is proud and excited when she meets her goals..
It is such a great feeling to see her great accomplishments do to the help received from Mathnasium.

Mathnasium has given my daughter a confidence in math that she’s never had before. She enjoys the subject now, where before she was intimidated by it. She always looks forward to going - it makes her feel smart. Thanks for all you’ve done for her so far.

Mathnasium has provided my son with dedicated, knowledgeable, and friendly staff members who contimue to help him build and expand his math skills. Scott, the owner, has been invested in my son's success since the beginning, always encouraging and motivating him to keep plugging away. Scott's enthusiasm and reassurance has never waned; he continues to make time whenever I feel the need to discuss something with him. My son's grade in math was a 'C' when he started the program last year, and now he has an 'A'.
I don't have a single complaint, and Mathnasium strives to make it as easy and convenient as possible for parents to fit it into their schedule.

My son has only been attending for a couple of weeks but his enthusiasm and motivation for math has already changed. He has gained confidence and is comfortable contributing to classroom problem solving discussions. Thanks Mathnasium!

I like the fact that you say what you are. For example, you give a test at the beginning and then you start at the beginning of the student's problem. Teach them how to do the problem and then reteach them how the teacher will teach them. Everyone there cares about the students and are very knowledgeable in math

It's only been a few weeks since our daughter started but so far I am very pleased with the individual attention she is receiving and love the flexible hours. As a senior in high school she seems to really enjoy going, and has been going 2-3 times a week .

Hi Jeffrey,
We're really happy to be helping your daughter. She's responding to the challenge with grit and dedication - and I'm really proud of her hard work. Glad you love our hours - I've been wanting to stay open later for a while and this was a perfect excuse. Thanks again for your kind review!
Sincerely,
Scott

My son absolutely loves it! Couldn't be happier! The staff is great, caring and friendly!

Hey Kim!
We just love having your son here. He's got such a magnetic personality, and his curiosity and exuberance is so much fun. He really enjoys being challenged. He's going to have a wonderful, successful future thanks to you and your family's dedication to his math learning!
Sincerely,
Scott

I love that mathnasium not only helps my daughter with new material she doesnt understand, they have identified her weaknesses in Algebra and have helped her with that! I feel at ease knowing she is getting help to prepare for SAT's this way!

Ana improved immensely in math after only some summer sessions at Mathnasium. I think it was her lack of confidence in the subject that was keeping her from being her best. Being more comfortable with the material helped her confidence. Definitely will be signing her up for more sessions soon.

I think it has developed, more confidence in Francesca! However, I don't think we're going to continue @ this time. Frankie is starting volleyball and she also, has her equestrian lessons, every week. She is also, in a new program @ school where she is getting xtra help. If I see that this help she is getting, is not helping her, we'll be back! Thanks ever so much, for your help! Joyce M. McEvoy

It would be helpful if Mathasium was open earlier during the summer, morning hours. Also, when school starts up in the fall I would very helpful to have your hours start earlier, 2:30 or 3:00 would allow me to bring my son more often.
Thank you.

Gabrielle started at Mathnasium significantly behind grade level. She struggled and had no confidence in her ability to learn math. Fast forward after a year of mathnasium... She is testing at or above grade level. Math may not be her favorite subject but she enjoys it to some degree and knows she can tackle it.

We are pleased with the progress our child has made. We are pleased with the staff and director of the center. Always very courteous and accommodating! So far we are having a great experience and our child enjoys going very much.

My son loves to go to this place. He really enjoys the attention of the teachers there. He has never complained to me about having to wait for someone to come over and answer a question or help him, so the staff to student ratio is great. At the end of the hour, he gets back into the car, smiling and happy. Not much more to say!

My son has been going to Mathnasium for the past 6 months. Since then I have seen huge improvement in his math skills and confidence. Not only that, but he likes to go to Mathnasium, which I feel must help it be so much more effective for him. Thank you for what you do!

All the staff at Mathnasium has been extremely helpful and patient with my daughter! They have helped to increase her confidence level in being able to tackle Geometry which doesn't come easy to her. Many, many thanks for all your help!!!!!

Mathnasium has been so helpful to my son Spencer. His confidence as improved so much. He now believes he is capable even when he encounters something new. Mathnasium really helped take the panic out of solving a math problem. He has come so far since he started. I am also very impressed with the instructors at Mathnasium. They are friendly and motivating; yet keep the students focused and on task. We will be forever grateful for all the help Mathnasium has given Spencer. Thank you! - Heather Foley

In only 6 months of attending Mathnasium, my 15 year old daughter has become a confident math student, something 10 years in traditional math classes could not accomplish. The flexibility of the center as a "drop in" has been the key to being able to balance school and outside activities . My daughter has not had to limit her activities because of this extra math help, we've been able to integrate it quite well so she does not feel like she has to give up fun because she needs this extra help in math.
Every educator that has helped my daughter has been outstanding. She tells me about their different styles and approach but after every session, she understands more than when she walked in. Every session is a success.
Its great to see the monthly progress reports, seeing how much she has accomplished and what will be next.
